Journal of Popular Culture

Resumen/Descripción – provisto por la editorial en inglés
The popular culture movement was founded on the principle that the perspectives and experiences of common folk offer compelling insights into the social world. The fabric of human social life is not merely the art deemed worthy to hang in museums, the books that have won literary prizes or been named “classics,” or the religious and social ceremonies carried out by societies’ elite. The Journal of Popular Culture continues to break down the barriers between so-called “low” and “high” culture and focuses on filling in the gaps that a neglect of popular culture has left in our understanding of the workings of society.

Cobra Kai Never Dies! Generational seriality and revived legacies of The Karate Kid

Agata FrymusORCID

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This article investigates the hallmarks of generational seriality—the term coined by Matt Hills—using <jats:italic>Cobra Kai</jats:italic>, and its predecessor, <jats:italic>The Karate Kid</jats:italic> trilogy, as case studies. It combines textual analysis of overarching themes of these texts, such as the portrayal of white masculinity, and aligned conceptualizations of class, with the examination of televisual nostalgia. It draws on existing scholarship on TV returns and revivals, exploring how <jats:italic>Cobra Kai</jats:italic> enters a dialogue with the fans of the franchise, and how that dialogue is articulated. While building upon the iconography familiar to <jats:italic>The Karate Kid</jats:italic> fans, <jats:italic>Cobra Kai</jats:italic> contains a great degree of self‐reflexivity, with dialogue or entire plot lines that parody regressive gender politics of the 1980s. The series brings together the generic conventions of the teen film and ample opportunities for nostalgia in its original fan base; thus, it significantly expands its appeal to two distinctive demographics.</jats:p>

Moving beyond the magic Indian Trope in Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire series

Rachel Schaffer

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In films, the Magic Negro is a stock character whose supernatural gifts promote the success of a White protagonist. A character with parallel traits found in a number of mystery series is the Magic Indian, who has supernatural connections and abilities unavailable to others. In his Walt Longmire mysteries, Craig Johnson develops a strong supernatural thread with the agency of Native American characters who can be considered Magic Indians. While Johnson's Magic Indians share similarities with Magic Negroes, they exhibit key differences in the way their spirituality is presented that make them more realistic characters serving an educational function.</jats:p>

Is Jim Halpert looking at me?: The Jim Halpert Gaze, The Office, and the Fascist Look

Cooper Casale

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>It's entirely possible to watch all nine seasons of The Office without asking the obvious: Is Jim Halpert Looking at Me? The six‐hundred‐fifty times Jim looks at us and the six‐hundred‐fifty sins to which his famous glare responds result in a training that confers viewers with the ability to mime the mime; to recover Jim's stupid, vampiric face by matching it's subtle permutations, to dismiss the naïve exertions of others as stupid and embarrassing; to find success, comfort, and safety in the image of the pitiless scientist, the capitalist boss, and the fascist father.</jats:p>
